The total offering for last week was $1,620.60: Building Fund - $30.00; Deacon’s Fund - $50.00; General Fund - $1,540.60.

Over the course of a few months the ladies made 20 lap quilts; 14 for Northern Michigan Hospice and 6 to send to Michael and Lupe Geiss, our missionaries in Nepal.
The lap quilts have been delivered to Northern Michigan Hospice, the six for Nepal are being made ready to ship.
The package to Nepal will be sent via a missionary couple who will be taking it with them as extra luggage.
How you can help:
1. The cost of the extra luggage is $160 (that’s a saving of $40 if it is prepaid).
2. Several small items are being sent to Michael and Lupe along with the lap quilts - estimated to cost $110.00
3. A medium sized vacuum storage bag to send the quilts.
Please see either Diane or Pam
if you have a vacuum storage bag.
We will be taking up a special offering this morning to help with the cost of the extra luggage and additional items being sent with the lap quilts.
Your help is so greatly appreciated!
Thank You!
